Keith Berry · 2017

Constructed almost entirely from processed field recordings and granular synthesis, Berry's 2017 release dissolves the boundary between source material and abstraction until neither quite exists. The title's debt to Baudrillard feels earned — these are sounds that reference nothing original, copies without originals, textures that feel familiar yet impossible to place. Long, slow movements accumulate detail at the edges without ever announcing themselves. Quiet, rigorous, and deeply strange in the best possible way.
